AITAH for not reaching out to my aunt and uncle after the birth of my child
I had my baby in December and after the arrival my father sent a text to the family at large, including this Aunt and Uncle (who have children in their late teens, just for reference) announcing the birth. All other family members either sent me messages/calls of congratulations or came to visit. I heard nothing at all from this aunt and uncle. We’ve always been on good terms with them and we usually see each other a few times a year, but now it’s almost halfway though 2026, my baby is almost 6 months old and I haven’t heard from or seen them once. They’ve never met my baby, never interacted with any of my posts on social media, and as far as I know wouldn’t even know the name. My dad is offended on my behalf and hasn’t spoken to them much at all, and hasn’t seen them. I feel quite hurt that they never made any effort and am a little confused. I know it’s a two way street, and I could have reached out, but life with a new born has been absolutely crazy, and in the last months as life has started to settle I’ve held back from reaching out because I feel pretty upset that I have to be the one to do it. The petty side of me thinks that if they can’t make the effort, why should I? My baby and I have plenty of family (both blood and found) that would do anything at all for us and have reached out and checked on us both over the last few months, and I feel like leaving the ball in their court - if they don’t want to make an effort then that’s the extent of the relationship they’ll have with me and my baby from now on.
So, AITAH for being upset but also not wanting it to be my responsibility to reach out to them?
